Tips and Tricks Nr. 3 - How can I reduce the power consumption on the X100T?

I think, this has happened to all of us at least once: 

Walking around in a beautiful place, willing to take some nice pics, but gradually becomes more and more clear that no much battery has been left available on the camera (at least not enough battery to use the camera as we want). 

Good organised photographers have the habit to have  2 or 3 reserve batteries in their bag, but honestly, amateur users don´t really need the extra batteries :)

So, these are the first things that I tried to understand using the X100T: 1) how can I optimise the energy consumption at my needs and 2) how can I extend the battery life of the camera. 

Following options are available to achieve it: 

1.  a) go to SHOOTING MENU 5

     b) go to FLASH MODE

     c) choose SUPPRESSED FLASH

2. use only the MANUAL FOCUS

3. use the OVF

4. a) go to menu SET-UP 2

    b) go to POWER MANAGEMENT

    c) activate AUTO POWER OFF by choosing 2 MIN

    d) activate the  OVF POWER SAVE MODE (no histogram is being showed on OVF)

    e) disable HIGH PERFORMANCE

At last but not least, enviroment conditions. The battery life generally depends on the temperature and humidity conditions while taking pictures. 

I hope that the blog entry was quite helpful today, 

till next time:)
